Description

Introducing Geophysics explores the Physics of the Earth, uncovering the secrets of our planet's composition and evolution. By applying classical physics disciplines such as heat, gravity, magnetism, electricity, vibrations, and waves, geophysics provides a comprehensive understanding of the deep Earth.

The book delves into various aspects of geophysics, including the Earth's geothermal heat flow, Plate Tectonics, seismology, and the Earth's magnetic field. It also examines how these phenomena are recorded in sedimentary rocks and the ocean crust, allowing us to chart tectonic plate motions.

A key aspect of this introduction is its clear detailing of the application of geophysics to practical matters, reflecting the author's extensive experience in Applied Geophysics.
